Overweight, Thinness, Body Self-Image and Eating Strategies of 2,121 Italian Teenagers.

The Scientific World JOURNAL (2005)

Roberta Guarino A. Pellai L. Bassoli Mario Cozzi Maria Angela Di Sanzo

This study describes the prevalence rate of overweight and thinness in a population of teens living in two different areas of Italy and explores the body self-image perception and unhealthy eating behaviours and strategies to lose weight. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 2,121 teenage students (1,084 males, 1,037 females). Results showed that teen females and males build and perceive their body images in very different ways. Most of the overall sample perceived their weight as normal, while a relevant 31.6% defined themselves as overweight and another 4.4% as heavily overweight. Analysis based on BMI (calculated through self-referred weight and height) showed that only 9.2% of our sample could be considered overweight and 1.7% obese. Most of female teen students (485 out of 1,037) were trying to lose weight, demonstrating that strategies to lose weight were undertaken also by girls perceiving themselves as normal in relation to body weight. 46.8% girls were using strategies to lose weight compared with 21.9% boys. These strategies included very problematic behaviours like self-induced vomiting (3.3% F vs 1.7% M) and dieting pills (2.8% F vs 1.5% M) undertaken along with more usual thinning strategies like dieting and exercising. Girls were more prone than boys to exercise as a way to lose weight (41% vs 31.7%). This study showed that there is a deep gap between actual weight and perceived body-image and weight. This study is one of the first of this kind in Italy and calls for primary prevention and health education programs aimed at improving teen body-image as a strategy to reduce the eating disorder epidemics spreading among young people.

Searching for the Profitability of Energy Crops: An Agroecological–Economic Land Use Suitability (AE-landUSE) Model

Environments (2024)

Mauro Viccaro Severino Romano Immacolata Rosalia Mario Cozzi

The current geopolitical and energy market instability calls for speeding up the EU clean energy transition to increase energy security in all the European regions and make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Among renewable energies, modern bioenergy is a promising near-zero-emission fuel for increasing energy security in the heating, electricity and transport sectors while promoting growth and job creation, especially in rural areas. In such a context, energy crops will continue to play a key role. Since agricultural planning is a complex issue, especially when energy crops could compete with food ones, we propose an agroecological–economic land use suitability model (AE-landUSE model) to promote the sustainable use of land resources. The AE-landUSE model was developed by integrating cost–benefit analysis (CBA) and land use suitability analysis (LSA) within geographic information systems (GISs). Tested in the Basilicata region (Southern Italy), comparing two different energy crops (rapeseed and cardoon), the results show the model’s utility in identifying suitable areas for energy crops where the investments will be cost-effective. The proposed model will help decision-makers in energy-agricultural planning to increase energy security sustainably.

Modelling the Economic, Social and Environmental Components of Natural Resources for Sustainable Management

Sustainability (2021)

Francesco Riccioli Mario Cozzi

The recognition of the multifunctional role of natural areas has resulted in a growing interest in sustainable natural resource management, in order to prevent degradation and depletion, ensuring income-generation activities, sustaining culture and employment, and increasing environmental benefits, such as carbon sequestration, hydrogeological protection, biodiversity enhancement, and many others [...]

Land use change and cap impacts in the rural areas: a geographic multicriteria approach

L’Italia forestale e montana (2013)

Severino Donato Mario Cozzi

L’agricoltura e il settore primario che maggiormente influenza l’aspetto delle aree rurali. Tale settore, infatti, identifica nel territorio non solo la sede fisica dei processi produttivi ma anche uno dei fattori stessi della produzione. Risulta, pertanto, contemporaneamente il principale responsabile sia della sua salvaguardia, sia del suo deterioramento. Ne deriva che l’attuale contesto rurale e approssimativamente la risultante dell’implementazione delle politiche agricole che si sono succedute negli ultimi quarant’anni. In tale contesto sono stati sviluppati (OECD, EEA) numerosi indicatori agroambientali finalizzati alla misurazione degli effetti delle politiche sul territorio. In questa ricerca sono analizzati i cambiamenti nell’uso del suolo, avvenuti in un periodo di 40 anni nella valle dell’Agri, relazionandoli alle modifiche della PAC che si sono succedute nel periodo considerato. Si e inoltre individuato un modello multicriteriale di analisi geografica finalizzato ad individuare le aree agricole presentanti particolare valenza ambientale, per le quali risulterebbe necessario individuare specifici indirizzi ed interventi da inserire nei redigenti Piani di Sviluppo Rurale (PSR).

25. Exploring urban gardening experiences in Europe and Asia: Rome vs Tokyo

Antonella Vastola Mario Cozzi Mauro Viccaro Valeria Grippo Severino Romano

Nowadays the trend of urban gardening can be observed in many parts of the world. This phenomenon responds to the demand of rurality and the requalification of abandoned urban green areas expressed by city residents. Recently, many researchers have investigated about different types of urban gardening but mostly referring to English speaking developed countries. To grasp the worldwide trend of urban gardening, this paper aims to compare urban gardening experiences in Rome and Tokyo. In Italy, the analysis is conducted through a direct investigation while the Japanese experience has been analysed through secondary data. The study of these two quite different metropolitan contexts helps to understand: (1) motivations on why urban residents need to grow food by themselves; (2) types of ecosystem services (i.e. safeguard of agricultural land, food culture, production system, leisure model, environmental education, social cohesion) provided to stakeholders. By comparing the two areas in Europe and Asia, we found urban residents' interests in self-harvesting in common. Yet, there were differences in the form of urban gardening. Urban gardening in Rome is characterized by voluntary community activities, while Tokyo has commercial services to provide opportunities to not only those who have eagerness to grow vegetables, but also those who have less time and skills of growing plants.
